The prices were the best that I could find on any other fragrance sites. The service was fabulous. I was totally surprised to receive the merchandise so fast. I will definitely use FragranceX.com again for future fragrance purchasesA. Anderson (Huntington, WV)

I was thrilled to find this old favorite at FragranceX, it has become very hard to find. Fell in love with it 20 years ago and it still smells as breathtakingly lovely as I remembered it. It is a typical, classic complex blend that's so very French. It has so many layers that one is constantly discovering lovely nuances as the head notes give way to the heart notes and so on. Word of advice - don't bathe in it, a little goes a long way. Better to re-apply to refresh rather than put a lot on at first. It can come on strong & has made me sneeze before I figured that out!

The arresting element to the original Y I used to know is completely gone and it is difficult to say what remains other than a musky patchouli residue. I was really looking forward to this however, it was not to be.

I have been using Y since I found it in Jamaicaon holidays! During sixties, seventies and eightiescould get it easily. But it became very scarce!Am very excited to find it here. Hopefully it canStill be produced as dear, dearest Yves SaintLaurent no longer here.
